The letter, official-looking and sterile, had arrived that morning. A formal notification, belatedly informing him of the “unfortunate incident” that had occurred within the walls of his house. The official tone served to pour salt on the wound.

He found himself standing in the master bedroom, the place where he had intended to build a life. The air hung thick with a suffocating silence. He ran his hand across the crisp, clean sheets and felt a fresh wave of revulsion.

He flung the covers across the room, the anger bubbling up and threatening to overwhelm him.
